The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics . The term was coined by the Danish botanist, plant physiologist and geneticist Wilhelm Johannsen in 1903.
Learning modalities are the sensory channels or pathways through which individuals give, receive, and store information. Perception, memory, and sensation comprise the concept of modality. The modalities or senses include visual, auditory, tactile/kinesthetic, smell, and taste.
The sensory areas are the cortical areas that receive and process information from the senses. Parts of the cortex that receive sensory inputs from the thalamus are called primary sensory areas. The senses of vision, audition, and touch are served by the primary visual cortex, primary auditory cortex and primary somatosensory cortex respectively.
